Fife Council

A round-up of planning news in Scotland: 18 July-24 July, 2020

Fife Council has ratified the masterplan for a significant expansion of the historic university town of St Andrews with hundreds of new homes, land for university and employment use, a care home, a secondary school, a hotel and a local centre with shops.

A masterplan has been submitted to Fife Council for a major development to the west of St Andrews, designed to provide more than 1,000 new homes, 30 per cent of which will be affordable housing.

It was announced last year that Scotland’s planning system would undergo a “root and branch review”, as part of the Scottish Government’s programme A Stronger Scotland.
